Community Groups

Proudly sponsored by:

Community groups working to enhance, improve or promote environmental awarenedd are encouraged to enter the Awards. Any project undertaken to conserve, enhance or protect the environment can be submitted.

Ideas for projects are varied.  Previous winners include a community campaign to save Ralph's Bay, the establishment of a community owned protected area, development of an Educational Booklet about human impact on peri-urban bushland and a foreshore weed management and revegation project.

It is asked that the following questions are answered within your project entry:

• What is the environmental issue?
• What are the objectives of the project?
• What does the project involve (implementation)?
• What are the outcomes of the project?

Projects will be assessed on the strengths of the responses to these criteria.

Attach any supporting documentation such as photographs, videos, posters, displays, artworks, audio tapes, diagrams or newspaper articles.

The project does not necessarily have to have a direct physical benefit to the environment.  It could, for example, be the collection and collation of data that could aid further research that would in turn benefit the environment.

Entry forms are available here.

Closing date for all submissions is 25 September 2009.
